From kids to animals with only a day in-between..
I was just watching the coverage of the bottle-nosed whale travelling up the Thames and apart from one woman and a small child, the audience seemed to be treating it all as a big joke. ‘It must be a bloke as it hasn’t asked for directions,’ laughed one woman.
For a whale to travel so far off course, it is likely that it was already weak and sick and it’s chances of survival decrease the more time it spends the wrong side of the estuary.
I’m with the kid who looked a little distraught and said that she hoped he would find his real home soon. If he doesn’t then Littleone and I will not be able to read one of our favourite bedtime stories, The Snail and the Whale, with a dry eye.
And while we are on the subject of animals, it turns out that the coat Pete Burns was wearing on Big Brother was not made out of gorillas (as he boasted) but endangered colobus monkeys instead.
Nice.
